What types of appointments can be done through virtual care?
Virtual care is ideal for medication management, chronic condition follow-ups, mental health consultations, minor illness visits, preventive care discussions, and specialist referral coordination. Dr. Erdem determines if your specific concern can be adequately addressed remotely.
How do I prepare for a virtual doctor's appointment?
Prepare by having your medication list ready, noting your symptoms and questions, ensuring good lighting, and testing your device's camera and microphone. For certain conditions, you might need a thermometer, blood pressure monitor, or scale available during the visit.
Can I get lab test orders through virtual care?
Yes, Dr. Erdem can electronically order labs, imaging studies, or prescriptions during virtual visits. You can complete testing at a convenient location, and results are reviewed during follow-up virtual appointments, with treatment adjustments made as needed.
What if I need a physical exam during a virtual visit?
While comprehensive physical exams require in-person visits, Dr. Erdem can guide you through limited self-examinations during virtual appointments when appropriate. If a hands-on exam is necessary, she will schedule an in-person follow-up at the Sugar Land clinic.
Is virtual care available for patients in different Texas cities?
Yes, virtual care allows Dr. Erdem to see patients throughout Texas, though prescribing certain medications may have state-specific regulations. New patients can establish care virtually, though some may require an initial in-person visit depending on their medical needs.
How do I schedule a virtual care appointment?
Schedule by calling (713) 442-9100 or using the Kelsey-Seybold patient portal. The team will help you set up the secure video platform and provide any necessary instructions. Virtual appointments offer flexible scheduling options to fit your busy life.
